13-Nov, Semis:
Top seeds trounced
in Pakistan finals
Both top seeds were beaten in the finals at the Mushaf Squash Complex
in Islamabad.
The men's final was a repeat of last week's CNS International
climax in Karachi, but this time it was Aamir Atlas Khan who
triumphed, recovering from losing the first game to retain the title
he won last year, taking his career tally to four, all won in
Pakistan.
It was a different story in the women's final as defending champion
and top seed Christina Mak went down in straight games to Egyptian
teenager Heba El Torky, who added a second WISPA title just
weeks after winning in China.

13-Nov, Semis:
Farhan & Aamir
reprise as
El Torky makes Islamabad final
The men's final will be a repeat of Farhan Mehboob and
Aamir Atlas Khan's clash in last week's CNS final after
both won their all-Pakistan semi-finals at the Mushaf Squash Complex
in Islamabad.
In the women's final Hong Kong's defending champion and top seed
Christina Mak will meet Egyptian teenager Heba El Torky,
winner of last month's China Open. Mak ended the run of unseeded
Egyptian Sara El Noamany while El Torky ousted Hong Kong's second
seed Joey Chan.12-Nov, Quarters:
Safeerullah makes it a
Pakistan clean sweep
Just as in last week's CNS International in Karachi, a home winner
is guaranteed after four Pakistanis triumphed in the quarter-finals.
Top seeds Farhan Mehboob and Aamir Atlas Khan both beat domestic
opposition while Mansoor Zaman and Safeerullah Khan ended New
Zealand interest in the event.
It was the opposite in the women's event though, as Pakistan's last
hope Maria Toor Pakay lost out in five games to Sara El Moanamy,
ensuring that both semi-finals will be Hong Kong v Egypt affairs.
10-Nov, Qualifying Finals:
